This is Barack Obama’s speech where he discusses race in America and the recent outrage regarding statements made by Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of his church.

It is time for a new rhetoric and a new grammar in American politics, and Obama is showing us that it can be done. Listen to Obama and contrast him with what we know from the past 15 years: the spin, the legal acrobatics, and finger pointing of the Clinton administration, and the total secrecy, obscurity and arrogance of the Bush administration. I don’t care if Hillary has 60 years experience at spelling her own name or McCain 70 years loading his own machine gun, it is time for a real change in this country.

Here is a transcript of the speech.
